We had such a great time and learned so much through the personal guided tour. It was fun playing the unique instruments and trying out some of the VR equipment and trivia. Highly recommend!
The Hebrew Music Museum
A Revelatory Musical Experience in Jerusalem
The one-of-a-kind Hebrew Music Museum is the cornerstone of downtown Jerusalem’s Music Square.
With an impressive collection of musical instruments and interactive exhibits that help visitors explore the incredible breadth of history and culture that has shaped Hebrew music through the ages, the museum is a welcome escape from the distractions of the outside world that disconnect us from our inner musical souls.
Hebrew Music Museum Tours
Entrance to the museum includes a tablet that will guide you in your exploration of the 7 different exhibition spaces throughout the museum, each characterizing a different culture through unique decor, sounds, musical instruments, manuscripts from different periods of the Jewish people and more.
And an advanced Occulus Rift headset virtual reality experience will take you on a 3-dimensional audio visual tour through the music.
You can also join a 1-hour guided tour with “Grandpa Levi,” who will guide you through history with explanations and tidbits along your journey through the seven major stepping stones of Hebrew musical tradition.
